Look into these eyes of blue
It’s easy if you try
See through my mind
So beautiful and wise

I’m a little more than human
Don’t feel any love
That’s just me without expression
Take me above this mania
Take me to a world of extremes
Don’t you know I’m a military machine?
With a strong desire for an incredible dream

In a soldier’s stance
I take chances
No one takes
In a soldier’s stance
I’m too perfect
For mistakes

In a soldier’s stance I begin to dance
In a soldier’s stance I have strong beliefs with little relief
In this soldier’s stance you can heal me with meditation and medication
But it’s so common to resist with little rest and constant motion
In a soldier’s stance I do a warrior’s dance
I have warrior blood and dig in the mud in honor

In a soldier’s stance
I take chances
No one takes
In a soldier’s stance
I’m too perfect
For mistakes
In a soldier’s stance

If a police officer stops me
Can I be polite and not look for a fight?
When I feel like I have a time bomb ticking inside me
I’m living in these military years
Drill instructors and exercise per sisters
Martial law and ruling decree
Across these bloody rivers to the other side we will all be free

In a soldier’s stance
I take chances
No one takes
In a soldier’s stance
I’m too perfect
For mistakes

In this soldier’s stance – It’s a drive to perfection
In this soldier’s stance -It’s a drive of obsession
In this soldier’s stance – I have little to fear
In this soldier’s stance – I feel the world’s sorrow’s here
In this soldier’s stance – I’m an honorably discharged soldier
